    Navigating the redevelopment dilemma: The impact of Iloilo City central and super market rehabilitation project on ambulant vendors from rural areas
    Bermil, Dannah Veronica M.; Magbanua, Gwyne Winnah B. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2024-06)
    This study examines the marginalization of ambulant vendors in Iloilo City's Super and Central markets during ongoing public-private partnership (PPP)-driven market rehabilitation projects. It explores factors influencing vendors' experiences and perceptions, focusing on the impact of PPP projects and the city government's response to their needs and participation in consultations. Employing a cross-sectional and exploratory approach, it used data from interviews from ambulant vendors and key informants and utilized purposive sampling and thematic analysis. Findings point to challenges encountered during redevelopment, such as sales decline and exclusion from decision-making processes. Ambulant vendors respond by diversifying products, yet they confront negative perceptions and insufficient support. Recommendations include advocating for fair operating conditions and city government assistance to ensure sustainable livelihoods. Drawing upon Urban Politics Theory and Resource Dependency Theory, the study underscores systematic marginalization and emphasizes the necessity of inclusive decision-making mechanisms to empower ambulant vendors within urban governance structures. Recognizing their agency and advocating for their rights can catalyze equitable urban development, benefiting all stakeholders. This research offers valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of urban development and the marginalized role of ambulant vendors, urging policymakers to prioritize their inclusion in future planning initiatives.

    A critical review of UPV-based Coastal Resource Management (CRM) studies
    Agris, Charmaine Joy F. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-08)
    This undergraduate research project is a critical review of UPV-Based Coastal Resource Management (CRM) studies from four significantly diversesources covering a total of fifty two (52) CRM studies.This research aims to identify and to critically analyze the collection of undergraduate projects of Political Science and Economics students of the University of the Philippines in the Visayas, select articles from Danyag: Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences articles, unpublished studies deposited in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Extension (OVCRE) and the December 2006 Culture and Resource Management issue of Palayag of the Center for West Visayan Studies. The studies were distributed into different categories and subcategories to ensure that they are divided into mutually exclusive and independent groups and so as to avoid overlapping of data. Employing the system of categorization, this critical review analyzes the range of themes and topics tackled in the studies and is intended to determine the development of research methodology, theoretical and conceptual framework, and findings of the studies included in all the categories. The four major categories are: (a) Studies on Decentralized Management, (b) Studies on Natural Resource Governance, (c) Social Dynamics in Coastal Resource Management, and (d) Human Dimensions in Coastal Resource Management. The extensive listings of coastal resource management studies revealed that country’s CRM practices are rooted on participation, collaboration and is geared towards sustainability. A holistic coastal resource management practice should be modeled on the synthesis drawnfrom the knowledge, skills and past experiences from both governmental and local efforts to the management of coastal resources.
